The film’s shooting had started in January and the makers had not yet unveiled the release date. Badhaai Ho has been directed by Amit Sharma, who had earlier helmed Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Tevar.  It is a coming-of-age story of a family that is hit by unexpected news and has to face an unknown situation, which in turn leads to several unwanted problems for them. This film is also the second time Khurrana will be working with Junglee Pictures after Bareilly Ki Barfi  (also starring Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon). He will be seen next as a visually-impaired pianist in Sriram Raghavan’s  Andhadhun  alongside Radhika Apte and Tabu. Malhotra’s last film was the sports drama _Dangal_ with Aamir Khan and Fatima Sheikh.
